yeah I saw a couple episodes in the beginning then kinda got busy, but picked it up in the end, it was great! I learned a lot. The worst thing was they ended up showing Frick beating that guy to a pulp like 9 times....

Indeed that's the story of every country, the story of all of us.

Every country has held slaves and battled with indiginous peeps.

Some more than others.

In any case, the indiginous peeps in our case, were more slaughtered by the black plague than they were us. As in all other countries with "indiginous peeps" they would most likely have a massive presence, if not have kept the invaders out, if it were not for the plague having something like an 80% mortality rate with Native Americans.

By the way phatty...the use of the phrase; "battled with indiginous peeps"... makes you a POS

I hope you someday get to be that type of peep.

What do you think the previous posters problems are?

It doesnt seem to me they have a problem. It seems to me youre the one who has a problem. They are just adding to the convo. Maybe they just dont like the kind of peep you seem to be.

You nail why I fear "Progressives"....

hmm, others? Which countries handled their slavery issue within their first born generation?

I'm grateful for the technology that they gave us. I just don't find all of them all that interesting. Usually Tesla gets the shaft in favor of featuring just Edison so I like to see when he is featured.

he is featured in "changing the game" which i think is part 3. He is also in part 4 a bit I think

might want to check your sources there scotty.

Are you saying every country "or people" hasn't done this?

I say you're partly right.

If you go back far enough... everyone's ancestors has either been an aggressor or a victim. There's no in between.

Most "people"... by this I mean to refer to "groups" of people... related by country/language/ethnicity...

Most "people" who still have a culture today have been aggressors. The few exceptions are the indigenous people's who have survived in the Americas or Oceania. 5,000 years ago these indigenous groups would have been wiped out or would have been integrated... probably true for the vast majority of indigenous groups from less than 5000 years ago... though I'm sure there are exceptions.

Only in the last 500-1000 years have the "conquering" people's "let" the indigenous people's keep their identity/culture.

BTW... I'm not trying to justify the action of saying the conquering people's have been "right". I'm just stating historical facts.
